Summary: IDLE line wrapping

Initial Comment:
As IDLE is the 'official' python editor and PEP 8
(Style Guide PEP) suggests that coders wrap lines at 79
characters, I propose that IDLE should assist this
practice by highlighting lines or parts of lines longer
than 79 chacacters, or something similar. It is
suggested that this be a pref toggleable in the
"Configure IDLE" window and be turned on by default to
encourage good coding practices.
